The prediction is made that this -session of the general assembly will tio absolutely nothing with the dis? pensary, but, owing to a deadlock be =tweeen. the house and senate, will -permit the system to remain "as it is. This would be outrageous, for the system "as it is" needs a thorough purifying and disinfecting, and it 'Hvoflta be better to abolish the State 'dispensary and try the county dis? pensary experiment than to do noth? ing.

The Discussion of the Browsville Af fair Made the Excuse for an In? temperate and 111 Advised Ar? raignment of the President-Race Issue the Text. Washington, Jan. 12.-"The presi? dent' action in dismissing these men was nothing more nor less than lynching." This was only one of the many hitter exclamations of Senator Tillman in his speech hefore the sen? ate this afternoon on the Brownsville affair. In a voice trembling with emotion he charged President Roosevelt with reviving the race issue and bringring ! about conditions more threatening than those of 1861. Said he: "Pres dent Roosevelt is more responsible than any other man for the present position of the negro in and out of the south. He gave Booker Washington recognition socially, and made a mess of that worse than the Brownsville affair. Is the president ready to act lip to his own theory and havehis own children marry men and women of other races? Would he accept as a | daughter-in-law a Chinese, Malay, Indian or negro? All know he would not." "We must consider whether the president is sincere and honest, or whether in the* ferver of the fight to justify his unwarranted usurpation of power the president forgot himself and was lead into saying what he did not intend to mean.'* DR. JUDSON IS DEAD. For More Than Half a Century He Had Zealously Labored for the Up? building of the University to Which He Gave His Undivided Affection. Greenville, Jan. 12?-Dr. Charles Hallett Judson, for 54 years professor of mathematics at Furman university, died at 4.45 o dock this afternoon. The funeral services will take place on Tuesday at noon in the First Baptist church in this city. Dr. Judson was stricken with pa? ralysis on Monday and continued to grow worse un ti lthe end came. He suffered three distinct strokes in all, the last effecting his side and throat to such an extent that he was unable to take norishment. Dr. Judson leaves only one surviving relative, bis sister, Miss Mary C .Judson, who, like him? self, has consecrated her life to edu? cation, having been connected with the faculty of the Greenville Female college for half a century. In all Dr. Judson, gave $41.000 to I ; Furman university from his estate, j which he accumulated in the course j of a long life lime by dint of carefui j saving. These gifts have made the Carnegie library building and the ?100.000 endowment of Furman pos? sible. ? Charles Hallette Judson, LL. D., was born in Munroe, Conn., April 20, 1820. Has parents were both of pure English stock. His father, Charles Judson, was a man of sterling quali tit i and became one of the most prominent men in his community, in business and social circles. The mother of Dr. Charles H. Jud? son was Miss Abi Sherman, of Con? necticut, a relative of the distinguish? ed Roger Sherman. Dr. Judson's earliest education was obtained at the public school in his own town. From this he was trans? ferred to a high school, near his honte, taught by a graduate of Tale. He was afterwards sent to New Haven to prepare himself for business. Not long after going to the city he be? came interested in meetings of one of the Baptist churches of the place. He professed faith and joined the Baptists. At about the same time "Locke's "Essay on the Human Under? standing'" fell into his hands. These two circumstances conmbined to change the current of his life. As a result he resolved upon leaving busi? ness and continuing his education. He entered Hamilton Literary and Theo? logical Institute, located at Hamilton, X. Y., known today as the Colgate university, and the Colgate seminary. He remained at Hamilton two years I and was then compelled to teach for a while to obtain means with which to further prosecute his studies. Ever since that day he was able to sympa? thize with the poor boy struggling for an education, and he generously as? sisted such all through his long and useful life. He went from Hamilton to Virgin? ia, where he taught several years and then entered the University of Virgin? ia, where he remained two years. This course helled him to shape his work as a teacher for life. There he form? ed high ideals as to what a college course ought to be, and these high ideals he had before him for over 50 years, and thiss has largely made Fur? man university what it is and what it has been. In 1S47 Dr. Judson married Miss Emily Bosher. of Richmond, Va. To? gether they walked life's journey, ! childless, till May, 1903, when she ' entered her heavenly rest. It was a happy marriage, and in all respects she was a true helpmeet. Soon after i their marriage he began teaching a boys' school in London, Va. After two years here, he went to Warrenton, ? Va., where he remained teaching one year: While at Warrenton he heard of a vacancy in an institution of learning- at Ansonville, X. C., and .without friends, special influence, or even acquaintance in the college or community, he journeyed thither and made application in person for the position. In 1851, while seeking pu? pils for this school, he heard of the proposed opening of Furman univer? sity, and that a faculty would soon he elected. He aplpied for the chair of mathematics and was elected. That was a great day for Furman, for j Greenville and for South Carolina. He filled the chair of mathematics till a few years ago, and at the time of his death was still considered the i head of the department. Until very recently he met his classes in astron? omy, and was in close touch with the classes in mathematics, though the j daily routine of that work passed to j P.rof. M. D. Earle. When Dr. Judson became connected with Furman university there was no building ,no endowment, no equip? ment. He selected the plans for the first building and superinteded/ its erection; he purchased the apparatus and equipments, and he led in every movement since then for the growth, improvement and enlargement of the building and grounds, and the en? dowment, and has largely directed in fixing the course of study and the standard of the institution. Until re? cent years he was the treasurer of the institution, and managed the funds and property, and it was very largely due to his prudence, foresight, personal sacrifices, unremitting watchfulness and faithfulness that the college property, funds and equip? ment were not lost entirely during the civil war and in the dark days of financial stringency since. The insti? tution grew up, very largely, around two men, Dr. C. H. Judson and Dr. James C. Furman, the first presi? dent. During the civil war Dr. Judson was president of the Greenville Fe? male college, and for several years after the war. In this position he was instrumental in saving that institution also. He managed its affairs and saved its its property, and contributed to its support during season of great depression and stringency. In the recent effort to increase the endow? ment of Furman university he con? tributed over $26,000. He was not a rich man, but by frugality, economy and good management he accumulat? ed some means, and he has always been generous and a liberal contribu? tor to. benevolent, charitable and re? ligious purposes. He gave over $15. 000 to endow the Carnegie library for Furman university. He gave his "nome to that institution. His ii fe'and his property he laid on the altar Of the institution so dear to his heart. He made Greenville his . home in 1851, and the upbuilding of Furman university his life-work, and nothing could change his purpose. He had the opportunity, time and again, of goinfe elsewhere. Twice he was of? fered the presidency of the Judson in? stitute, Marion, Ala., and twice ^that of Richmond Female college, Rich? mond, Va., and twice he was offered a professorship in Richmond college. I After he came tc Greenville he was never a place-hunter, his ambition be- j ing to make Furman university an in stitution worthy of the people of the State. For over 55 years he faithful? ly performed his duties as a teacher, and it is gratifying that the Carnegie Foundation for Teaching recognized his faithful and distinguished services as a teacher, and voted him an annuity of $1,000. This honor was conferred upon him a few weeks before his death. For many years he was an honored deacon of the First Baptist church, Greenville, and his life as a Christian has been active and blameless. For many years he was the treasurer of the Babtist State convention, and a member of the board of State mis? sions. At the time of his death he was a truste j of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, Louisville. He was held in the highest esteem by the Baptists all over the country. , As a scholar and teacher Dr. Jud? son was pre-eminent, ranking among the finest mathematicians in the Uni? ted States. He was well known in the realm of letters and science. His papers have been copied into the leading scientific journals of the day. One of these, "An Investigation of the Arithmetical Relations Between Zero and Infinity," was noticed in a most favorable way in the Analyst for ISSI. A Poor Organ. *Dam(s) the bile.

Brown Manufacturing Co., Catarrh and Catarrhal Headaches C. 10-17-tf Fertilizers .fi There is no item of expense connected with the making of a crop that is of greater importance to farmers than that of fer? tilizers. It seems practically a waste of time and energy to at? tempt the planting of a crop without their use. In good years they pay handsomely, but with unfavorable seasons, the results are very disappointing. The year just closed was one of the most disastrous that this immediate section has ever experi enced. Fertilizers were used liberally, yes we might say, extravagantly. The sellers were probably as much to blame as the consumers We were ali more or less inflated as the re? sult of two or three years of good business, and were anxious to spread our wings; they have been clipped. We have been taught a lesson, a very expensive one, and let us hope a profit? able one. The conditions make it necessary that in 1907 we shall have to practice economy. Banks will not be in a position to ex? tend the liberal accommodations, which they have so cheerfully done in the last few years, and merchants' resources will be 1 limited accordingly. We do not know whether it is ecpnomy to curtail to a great extent the use of fertilizers or not, every farmer will have to exercise his own judgment as to this. Our observation has been that those who use fertilizers with a rea? sonable degree of liberality and apply them intelligently, makes the best showing at the end of the year. Many customers come to our office, not knowing what to buy, and want us to make suggestions. This shows a lack of intelligence on their part. Every farmer ought to know what is best suited to his soil, it is his duty to make a study of it, otherwise he is throwing his money awajr. It sometime? happens that a certain grade of fertilizer will give excellent results on one Seid, whereas on another portion of the same plantation it would be practically worthless. We never make suggestions as to the best fertil? izers to use, it is not our business, we do not know, but we try tq^give people what they want, and if the results are not satis? factory, they have only themselves to blame. We are handling the same brand of acid and ammoniated gooda that we have been selling for the past ten years, and based upon their analysis, we feel perfectly safe in saying that Our kaiiiit, muriate of potash and nitrate of soda we import direct.
